Chapter 615 Changsheng Temple
The entry recorder is what has allowed me to get to where I am today.
This power was immense, possessing overwhelming scientific research power in the present world, allowing him to disregard process and reach conclusions directly. Within the Starry Sky Vision, he possessed the terrifying ability to utilize his knowledge infinitely.
In the past, he just thought it was useful, but now as he thinks about it more and more, he begins to have some concerns.
Although this entry recorder has not yet revealed any purpose, its only request to me is the wild crystals in the store. This is just my guess.
He seems to have no desires or demands, but it is precisely because of this that Yu Cang always overthinks.
Kings' Sealing is a Soul Card that carries a huge risk when used, but as long as one chooses to replace the cost of "worn memory" with an entry implant, then this risk can be easily ignored and the card can have even more exaggerated power.
There is no doubt that as long as this price is cancelled, the kings who listen to the king with no consumption and no cooldown will be stronger and more useful than the ministers before the emperor. Any summoned beast can be transformed into a high-level combat force after a king-making ceremony with a legendary attribute implanted.
However, Yu Cang still gave up this possibility.
He didn't want anyone else to get hold of this power that belonged to him, even if it was just an entry recorder.
The kings who accepted the title after the entry was added would become the same as the emperor's ministers who were forced to plunder. So what difference would there be? What was the point of him working so hard to find his own power?
Moreover, he was confident that even without relying on the entry recorder, he would be able to push this power to its limit in the end!
At that time, he will truly have the qualifications to stand in front of Huang and Dixing.
After walking around the royal court, Yu Cang went back.
The main purpose of coming out this time is to take Li Anjiu around and let the national teacher know that Li Anjiu has returned to normal.
After last night, Yu Cang had figured it out to some extent... There must be many factions and conflicts in the Desolate Sect.
At least, there is definitely discord between the Imperial Master and Madam Yu.
Naerer, as a national-level card maker, was just a sacrifice yesterday and died in vain.
Neither Madam Yu nor the Imperial Master had any reaction to his death.
Although I look down on card banners, someone of Erer's level should be treated like a treasure no matter where he is.
So, since there was nothing to do today, he took Li Anjiu out for a walk and tried to please the Imperial Master.
Perhaps, this is exactly the reason why Mrs. Yu handed Li Anjiu back to them?
Who knows, it's good for them anyway.
That's enough.
…
At this time
Yu Cang stopped
He looked at the person in front of him with a slightly surprised expression.
"Fa Shi?"
"Infinite and Eternal Life!"
Fashi chanted a Buddhist name, smiled, and bowed gently to Yu Cang.
"Donor, we meet again."
“…”
"Looking at the donor's expression, are you a little surprised?"
"Not really." Yu Cang looked calm.
Fashi smiled softly and said, "I wonder if any of you have time to spare? If you are not busy, I would like to invite you all to visit my Changsheng Temple."
Looking at Fashi's expression, Yu Cang thought for a moment and nodded: "Of course."
"Infinite and Eternal Life!"
…
Changsheng naturally has his own temple, and also has a group of monks who specialize in serving Changsheng.
This largest Temple of Longevity is naturally located in the Great King's Court.
Not long after walking, Yu Cang saw the wall of Changsheng Temple.
I thought that since it was a temple, it should be more low-key and not so ostentatious.
But Yu Cang was wrong.
This Changsheng Temple looks even more exaggerated than the Great King's Court.
Large pieces of pure white jade were piled up to form the courtyard walls, and the ground was also paved with slightly darker jade. Looking up, one could see layers of golden roofs rising higher and higher, and the building in the center was estimated to have more than ten floors.
That golden roof is really a golden roof in the literal sense, a roof made of gold.
Yu Cang saw it and laughed a little.
Gu Jieshuang on the side couldn't help but look sideways.
It's so extravagant.
She turned her head and glanced at Yu Cang secretly, and couldn't help but sigh.
Logically speaking, a place like the Great King's Court, where gold and jade are everywhere, would only give people the feeling of a nouveau riche. However, as the saying goes, the most rustic things are trendy. When you really see such a spectacular scene, you can't help but sigh.
He is so fucking rich.
She is not like the boss, who is rich in every sense of the word. She is just an ordinary person.
With so much gold and jade in front of you, it’s impossible not to be envious.
If it were all mine... then at least I could pay off a little of the money I owed my boss...
pity.
This can't be mine.
Gu Jieshuang quietly swallowed her saliva, and then hugged Yu Cang's arm tightly.
"Fuck..." Li Anjiu's eyes went blank for a moment, "That's awesome..."
Although he had been in the longevity tent for a long time, he had never been anywhere else except the dungeon. Now that he saw such a magnificent scene, it was naturally difficult to hide his Chinese essence in his heart.
"Everyone, please come in." Fashi extended his hand and invited them.
"please."
The gate of the temple is gilded, and the wood inside is also designated as some precious tree.
The gilded gate...is already the lowest-class thing in this temple.
When you enter the temple, you can see many monks. Some of them have greasy faces and broad bodies, while others are so skinny that they look like they can be blown down by a gust of wind.
It’s not a difference in status. Those thin people... should all be practicing.
Maybe it’s the difference in cultivation schools?
Who knows.
As soon as I entered the door, the sound of chanting became louder and could be heard almost everywhere.
Yu Cang looked towards a place with the words "Scripture Chanting Room" written on it. Inside, he saw that under a tall golden Buddha statue, the ground was filled with cushions. Most of the cushions had a monk sitting on them, who was beating a wooden fish and chanting scriptures with his eyes closed.
At the front of those cushions, there was a figure sitting there. It seemed that he should be of a high status, but when Yu Cang saw that figure, he was a little surprised.
Is that... an immortal Dharma body?
No, it has not yet fully become the immortal Dharma body.
He was an old man, so thin that even the monk's robe made him look very thin. The most surprising thing was that under the monk's robe, the old man's body was not made of flesh and blood, but... glass.
It's all glass!
Most of his hands, feet, limbs, and even his head had turned into glass. There were several oil lamps beside him, and the light reflected on his body, emitting colorful overflowing light.
Yu Cang was a little surprised: "That is..."
“That’s the Master of Telepathy.”
Seeing this, Fashi smiled lightly.
"Master Tongjue has achieved great spiritual attainments and is about to achieve the most complete Dharmakaya. Calculating the time, it should be on the day of the sutra recitation... Huh?" Fashi exclaimed softly, "It's actually... ahead of schedule?"
Buzz!
Before he finished speaking, a burst of colorful light appeared in the chanting room!
The light was very soft and did not affect the vision at all, but Yu Cang still narrowed his eyes slightly and looked through the light, barely able to see what was happening inside.
The monk known as Master Tongjue originally had only his face left that had not transformed into the Dharma body of immortality. At that moment, the remaining flesh and blood part instantly began to transform into the texture of glass. In the blink of an eye, his entire body had completely turned into the texture of glass!
And then, it was not over yet. The old man's monk's robe fluttered around his body without wind. Under that, Liuli's Dharma body began to become purer, and the colorful light gradually merged into one, as if evolving towards a purer direction!
To turn from glass into... jade?
The light became brighter, and the monks around saw it, and they all chanted scriptures faster and louder. The sound gathered into a wave, shaking the ground!
But in the end, the old man's body did not turn into jade.
The old man's chanting suddenly stopped, drowned out by the voices of the monks. Then, under Yu Cang's gaze, the old man's body completely lost all signs of life and turned into a Buddha statue, a glass body.
"pity."
Fashi shook his head, seeming to be a little regretful.
"Master Tongjue practiced for his entire life, but in the end... he still couldn't achieve the Jade Body. Alas."
"..." Yu Cang was silent for a moment, "What will happen to the jade body?"
"Among the many Dharmakāyas of immortals, the Jade Body and the Gold Body are the best. Once one achieves these two Dharmakāyas, they can sit in the seat closest to immortals after traveling to the Buddha's Kingdom," Fashi explained. "This also signifies immortals' recognition of their practice. As for the Glazed Body... while also very good, it's still a notch below the Jade Body."
“…”
Yu Cang didn't respond, but he already understood in his heart.
It was already clear from before that the Changsheng Tent valued gold and jade the most. No matter what it was, as long as it was carved from gold and jade, it must be the best.
It seems that it must have been affected by this Dharma image of immortality.
Well... of course, even without this influence, gold as a precious metal is inherently valuable, and although jade is slightly inferior, it is also good.
In the chanting room, as the old man achieved the glass Dharma body, the chanting of the monks gradually stopped, and their eyes all turned to the old man in the front.
A moment later, a young monk walked out from the side, clasped his hands together, and said loudly: "Welcome Master Tongjue to the Buddha's kingdom!"
As soon as these words were spoken, smiles seemed to appear on the faces of the monks.
Then, the sound of chanting began to be heard again in the chanting room.
"Infinite and Eternal Life!" Fashi also chanted a Buddhist name, and then said, "Master Tongjue has attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven. Congratulations, all donors, continue to move forward with me."
“…”
It seemed that everyone around was happy for Tongjue's successful achievement of the Dharmakaya, but Yu Cang, who saw all this, felt a little creepy.
Really... is this cause for celebration?
There shouldn't be any problem with Yu Cang's perception.
That Master Tongjue should be a national-level card maker with powerful spiritual energy, but since he is not a soul card maker, his physical body is slightly inferior.
But no matter what, as a national-level guardian, his body is definitely stronger than that of an ordinary person, and he will definitely live to the end of his life without any illness or disaster.
But what about the present?
Before achieving the Dharmakaya, Master Tongjue's body was completely unable to move. Other monks were beating wooden fish, but he did not, because his hands had become something like glass, and even his clothes and the cushion he was sitting on were covered with dust!
It looked like he had been sitting there motionless for who knows how long.
In fact, Yu Cang looked at the degree of glass on his head and estimated that Tong Jue could not even eat. The only thing he could do was to chant scriptures.
In this state, what is the meaning of living?
and.
Yu Cang looked to his side.
Qi'er's face was full of reluctance. The girl now didn't even dare to look over there. She hugged her hands tightly and put her head against him.
Yu Cang reached out and touched the girl's head.
"Turn off the ability."
"Well... I've already turned it off..."
Qi'er is able to perceive other people's emotions to a certain extent.
This is a derivative of her ability. It was originally passive, but now she has a certain degree of self-control.
The Weeping Girl also has the same ability. She is much better than the girl, but she also has a frown on her face.
Their abilities all sensed the same thing - pain.
No matter how well it is packaged, the art of immortality is still a card-banning method.
If it is a banned card, it will inevitably bring pain.
In fact, the art of immortality is already a card ban method with very little pain.
Because we want to create the image of an enlightened monk and the atmosphere of a golden and jade paradise, then naturally we have to make people feel happy.
Therefore, the art of longevity will paralyze the user's senses and make them "comfortable".
But, unfortunately, users don’t have only the technique of immortality to ban cards.
It is inevitable for human elixir to become entangled with various forbidden cards during the practice.
The backlash of countless banned cards was constantly trapped in the unfinished Eternal Dharma Body. They had all reached the final moment of the backlash, and the pain was constantly corroding the nerves of those monks... Even with the paralysis of the Eternal Dharma Body, the pain was still clearly audible.
At least, it can be clearly perceived by the weeping girl and Qi'er.
However, before the paralyzing ability could cover up the pain, the Eternal Life Dharma Body had already deprived them of the right to scream.
Just like that kind of telepathy, one can only recite some scriptures numbly and mechanically in the hope of alleviating the pain - and this does work.
And those figures sitting on the cushions did not stand up until the completion of the Eternal Life Dharma Body, because - they could not stand up anymore.
When they reach the level of their Dharma bodies, they can only maintain one posture and recite scriptures continuously, hoping to make the longevity Dharma body grow faster to suppress the even more terrifying backlash pain.
From this perspective, this immortal Dharma body can indeed be considered a kind of liberation.
However, the Immortal Dharmakaya has its limits. After reaching 100%, it will no longer grow, but the backlash of the banned card is infinite.
Tongjue can no longer benefit from the paralyzing effect of the Longevity Dharma Body. From now on, all the pain of the backlash of the banned card will be borne by his own soul, and there will be no peace forever.
And that pain, along with themselves, will turn into one of the nutrients of the Buddha's kingdom.
